We have this running theory that movies like The Exorcist are scary because they feature children in eerie and unnatural postures.

That’s probably one reason why our fragile senses were so frayed by this campaign for Stolen Childhood, which in a manner most creepy drives home the tagline, “Sexual abuse of children is usually by someone they know.” We’ll never again be able to pick up a crayon or watercolour drawing without feeling a leap in our chests, looking for that subtle warped characteristic betraying lost childhood.
